E.J. Divitt
When I am truly stuck, I try two things. One is stream of consciousness. I get a piece of paper and write where I am in a big circle. Then I write whatever comes to mind in little circles around it; connecting those circles that make sense until I have a path to follow.
The second is to walk away. Sometimes I have to let the idea percolate in my brain for awhile. I will go for a walk or go clean something. I give my brain a chance to focus on the mundane instead of the problem. It lets me step back and get another look at it.
